YouTube change impacts ad blockers, increases ads on 8/1

Starting August 1, 2024, Google will implement changes that impact ad blocking tools in Chrome and how YouTube videos are viewed. Chrome no longer supports tools that block ads, including third-party extensions, and has developed technology to inject ads into the videos themselves to bypass ad-blocking tools. 

Additionally, a new policy from Google will increase the frequency of advertisements displayed on any embedded video, which includes pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads (Gore, 2024). While switching to non-Google browsers may offer some relief, YouTube could run slower, show blacked-out screens in place of ads, or still display ads.
 
Options for sharing video

1) For content hosted by YouTube, including content not owned by a UMBC account holder, please allow additional time for advertising when viewing videos.

2) For content created and owned by the instructor or UMBC account holder, Panopto may be a viable option where advertising is not desired. Copyrighted content may not be uploaded to UMBC’s Panopto service.

3) YouTube video links may be inserted into Panopto content. The video is not uploaded to Panopto but rather played through the Panopto platform, which has the benefit of suppressing advertising. In this scenario, an instructor might create an introduction using Panopto or a 1-second overlay screen, and then start the YouTube video.

For additional information about using Panopto at UMBC, please review our FAQ collection or open an RT ticket for support.

Here's a little midday present for you all... an UPDATE.

Group Notifications
  • When posting content within a group, you have the option on whether or not to send notifications to group members.
Group Subscriptions
  • Group admins can modify subscriptions to external feeds to not send notifications when pulling in content.
  • DEPRECATION NOTICE: If you are pulling in an RSS feed to myUMBC, we have be including a hidden iframe within myUMBC so that when someone loads an article, it also records a hit on the original site.  This was done so that folks could track the usage of their site using their existing analytics tools.  On November 1, 2011, we will no longer be providing this service and instead will provide a view tracking mechanism within myUMBC.  This is to make myUMBC friendlier on browsers (they won't have to download two entire pages) and minimize any security risks associated with pulling in external sites.
Video Content in Posts
  • We now support the new YouTube iframe embed format.
Topics Menu
  • We've reverted the Topics menu back to its original format.  For the first month and a half we tracked how long it took people to find items in the Topics menu using three different types of layouts.  Based on the data, we found the original layout to be consistently as fast if not faster for people to find what they needed.
